For today Mayuresh had arranged a local guide to show us some of the sites.

We started after breakfast for our tour.

President’s Palace

Our hotel was right in the heart of the Santiago city. We were able to walk in couple of minutes to the President’s Palace. This was an impressive setting being in the heart of the city. This Civic Center was also close to Plaza de Armas featuring Mapuche craftwork and local delicacies.

Monument to Christopher Columbus
Former National Congress building
The Metropolitan Cathedral – Catholic Church admired for neoclassical architecture and sacred artwork.
Equestrian statue of Pedro de Valdivia
Monument to Heroes
City of Santiago sign
Famous funicular took us to the top of the San Cristobal hill.
Cerro San Cristóbal
Thorny bushes on the hillside were quite scary

That completed our almost 2 month long journey. We made wonderful memories, met many interesting people, and learned about history, culture and nature. All those who followed us during this journey and encouraged us in documenting it, we thank you.
